VectorsNellie Newton hangs from a rope as

shown.• Which side has the greater

tension? • There are three forces acting on

Nellie: – her weight, – a tension in the left-hand side of the

rope, – and a tension in the right-hand side

of the rope.

Vectors• Because of the different angles, different rope tensions will occur in each

side. • Nellie hangs in equilibrium, so her weight is supported by two rope

tensions, adding vectorially to be equal and opposite to her weight. • The parallelogram rule shows that the tension in the right-hand rope is

greater than the tension in the left-hand rope.

Linear Motion

INSTANTANEOUS SPEED:

The speed at any instant of time

Speed scalar quantity requiring magnitude only to describe how fast a body is.

EXAMPLE:

Velocity

Velocity vector quantity requiring magnitude & direction. It describes how fast and in what direction.

CONSTANT VELOCITY:

Means motion in straight line at a constant speed.

CHANGING VELOCITY:

If either the speed or the direction (or both) changes, then the velocity changes.

Acceleration

Acceleration Is the change in velocity per unit time.

Dimensions: Length/Time2 ([L]/[T2]) ; Units: m/s2, km/h2, ft/min2, etc …

EXAMPLES:

ACCELERATED MOTION:Equations for motion in straight line with constant acceleration:

Displacement is a vector pointing from the initial to the final position and with magnitude equals the shortest distance between the initial and final position

EXAMPLE:

EXAMPLE:

Free FallWhen acceleration a = g = 9.8 m/s2

— free fall

• Acceleration is g when air resistance is negligible.

• Acceleration depends on force (weight) and inertia.

Non-Free FallWhen acceleration of fall is less than g, non-free fall• occurs when air resistance is non-negligible.• depends on two things:

• speed and• frontal surface area.

Terminal speed• occurs when acceleration terminates (when air

resistance equals weight and net force is zero).

Terminal velocity• same as terminal speed, with direction implied or

specified.

When an object is thrown vertically upward, its speed is uniformly decreased by the force of gravity until it stops for an instant at its peak before falling back to the ground.

EXAMPLE:A ball is thrown vertically upward with initial speed 1 m/s, determine the time for it to reach the highest altitude.

vf = vi + a t

vf = 0 m/svi = 1 m/sa = – g = – 9.8 m/s2

t = ?

t = [ vf – vi ] / a = [0 – 1m/s] / (– 9.8m/s2)= 0.1 s

For upward motion takeg = - 9.8 m/s2 (negative)and for downward motiontake g = 9.8 m/s2 (positive)

The force:• Is a vector (has magnitude and direction).• Is any push or pull.• Tends to change the state of motion of an

object.• Tends to produce acceleration in the

direction of its application.• But, for instance, opposite and equal forces

cancel each other, resulting in zero acceleration

• SI unit of force is Newton (N)• Conversion factor SI British system: 4.45 N =

1 lb

Force and Law of Inertia

Inertia:• is related to the Newton first law of motion which is also

called the law of inertia: a body at state of rest (speed = 0) or motion with constant velocity (constant speed in straight line) tends to remain at this state

unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Inertia is a property of matter to resist changes in motion.

• depends on the amount of matter in an object (its mass).

The car tends to continue moving.

The coin tends to remain at rest.

Mass:• is a measure of the inertia:

• The greater the mass of a body the greater is its resistance to motion

• SI unit is: Kilogram (kg): • 1 kg(SI) = 0.0685 slug (U.S. system)

Force and the Law of accelerationNewton second law (the law of acceleration):

F = m aF the total force.m mass.a acceleration.

Þ SI unit of force = Newton (N)Þ From Newton 2nd law: 1 N = 1 kg m/s2

or in British system: 1 lb = 1 slug ft/s2. In other metric system: 1 dyne = 1 g cm/s2.

EXAMPLE:

EXAMPLE:

Gravity and weightWeight: • The force on an object due to gravity• Scientific unit of force is the newton (N)• Free fall acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s2. (g = 32.2 ft/s2, British system). • Newton second law: F = m a , for free fall, a = g, F = Fw

EXAMPLE:

Magnitude of FN = magnitude of Fw

EXAMPLE:

Near the earth’s surface:• The acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.80 m/s2

• The weight = Fw = m g = (75.0 kg) (9.80 m/s2) = 735 N.

EXAMPLE: Astronaut mass = m = 75.0 kg

Near the moon’s surface:• The acceleration due to gravity = g = 1.63 m/s2

• The weight = Fw = m g = (75.0 kg) (1.63 m/s2) = 122 N .

So mass remains the same, but the weight varies according to the gravitational pull mass is a fundamental quantity.

Mass:• The amount of inertia or material in an object.• Units: kg

Volume:• Measures the space occupied by an object.• Units: [Length]3 m3, cm3, Liter (L), ft3, …

• is a force that resists the relative motion of two objects in contact.• depends on the kinds of material and how much they are pressed

together.• is due to tiny surface bumps and to “stickiness” of the atoms on a

material’s surface.

The total, or net, force acting on an object is the resultant of all the forces.

Example: If you pull on a box with 10 N and a friend pulls oppositely with 5 N, the net force is 5 N in the direction you

are pulling.

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Action and reaction forces• one force is called the action force; the other force is

called the reaction force.• are co-pairs of a single interaction.• neither force exists without the other.• are equal in strength and opposite in direction.• always act on different objects.

Law of Action and Reaction

The third law of motion, the law of action and reaction, can

be stated as follows: To every action there is always an

opposed equal reaction.

Example: Tires of car push back against the road while the road

pushes the tires forward.

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Simple rule to identify action and reaction• Identify the interaction—one thing interacts with another

– Action: Object A exerts a force on object B.– Reaction: Object B exerts a force on object A.

Example: Action—rocket (object A) exerts force on gas (object B).

Reaction—gas (object B) exerts force on rocket (object A).

Work

Two things occur whenever work is done:• application of force• movement of something by that force

WorkExamples: • Twice as much work is done in

lifting 2 loads 1 story high versus lifting 1 load the same vertical distance.

Reason: force needed to lift twice the load is twice as much.

• Twice as much work is done in lifting a load 2 stories instead of 1 story.

Reason: distance is twice as great.

Note: Work by force perpendicular ( =90o) to the direction of motion is zero. E.g. work by the weight = 0 J in previous example

They do the same amount of work. However, Junaid must exert more energy because he pushes into the ground more than Sami, who pushes more in the direction of the motion.

Mechanical Energy

• The mechanical energy of a body or a system is due to its position, its motion, or its internal structure.

There are two forms of mechanical energy:• Potential energy• Kinetic energy

Potential Energy• Potential energy is the stored energy of a body due

to its internal characteristics or its position.

1. Internal potential energy is determined by the nature or condition of the substance;

Example: • A stretched bow has stored energy that can do work

on an arrow.

• A stretched rubber band of a slingshot has stored energy and is capable of doing work.

Potential Energy

2. Gravitational potential energy is determined by the position of an object relative to a particular reference level.

Example:

• water in an elevated reservoir

• raised ram of a pile driver

Gravitational potential energy

• Equal to the work done (force required to move it upward the vertical distance moved against gravity) in lifting it

• In equation form:

Comment:If the car were twice as heavy, its increase in potential energy would be twice as great.

Potential EnergyCHECK YOUR ANSWER

Potential Energy

Example: Potential energy of 10-N ball is the same in all 3 cases because work done in elevating it is the same.

Kinetic Energy• Energy of motion• Kinetic energy is due to the mass and the velocity of a

moving object • is given by the formula:

• If object speed is doubled kinetic energy is quadrupled.

Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy and work of a moving object• Equal to the work required to bring it from rest to that

speed, or the work the object can do while being brought to rest. In other words, if all the work is transferred into kinetic energy then:

total work = net force displacement kinetic energy,

or F × s 1/2 m v2

Conservation of Energy

Law of conservation of energy• Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it may be

transformed from one form into another, but the total amount of energy never changes.

Conservation of EnergyA situation to ponder…تأمل

Consider the system of a bow and arrow. In drawing the bow, we do work on the system and give it potential energy. When the bowstring is released, most of the potential energy is transferred to the arrow as kinetic energy and some as heat to the bow.

Mechanical Energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

Example: Energy transforms without net loss or net gain in the operation of a pile driver.
